Dry where I am about 30 min west of Blue. Looks like everything stayed well to the south based on the weather radar. Trail Report listing 6 trails open to start the day.

Thanks again from all of us here to everyone that rode with us this summer! I just wanted to reach out to invite all of you to share any feedback that you had on the season. Feel free to touch on anything that is included in the list below, or if there's something I forgot be sure to let me know!

EVENTS
- East Coast Open Canada Cup
- Canadian National Enduro Series
- Tuesday Night Race Series
- Rider Appreciation Day

TRAILWORK
- Reopening of Waterfall and The Wall
- New option lines (Hot Beverage and TBDH)
- Showcase extension to bottom
- Fresh Air rebuild
- Lower H2O rebuild

One item that I'd like to address is the carryover of the Freeride Assessment. Unfortunately, there were some hiccups getting this process implemented this season. Some of them were things we could work around, but there were other issues that we couldn't have accounted for. I won't get too far into it, but the new process will be up and running for the launch of Season Passes in the spring for anyone who is over the age of 18 and completed the Freeride Assessment this year.

TRAILWORK
- Reopening of Waterfall and The Wall
rode them more this year than i did when they used to be opened

- New option lines (Hot Beverage and TBDH)
they were good

- Showcase extension to bottom
i like the old section at the bottom being reopened its a fun section and so much faster coming across the open ski hill at the bottom

- Fresh Air rebuild
good

- Lower H2O rebuild
i liked the bigger jumps

EVENTS
- East Coast Open Canada Cup -- Great to have an event of this calibre at Blue.
- Canadian National Enduro Series - Actually considering registering for this event, should it return!
- Tuesday Night Race Series - Always fun, good crowd, nice to ride the 'lower' trails.
- Rider Appreciation Day - Wasn't able to make it, but looked to be a good time. More stuff like this please!

TRAILWORK
- Reopening of Waterfall and The Wall - Yes!
- New option lines (Hot Beverage and TBDH) - Yes!
- Showcase extension to bottom - Yes!
- Fresh Air rebuild - Love the work on this trail, so smooth!
- Lower H2O rebuild - Bigger jumps ftw! First time I rode it after the rebuild I was pleasantly surprised.

See my comments inline above. All in all it was a great season despite the challenging weather. Hopefully we finally see the opening of Southern Comfort for riding next year! Smile Smile Smile

The Enduro was awesome please bring back! ( Also maybe do a mini blue mountain enduro on a weekend? 5 bucks in and win a shirt kinda deal?)

The new trails are always welcome and the wall is a treat.

Thanks again for doing some great work with all the obvious restrains you guys deal with.

oh and just because please please please berm up the flat corners on the 'blue collector' at the top - it kills speed and is a nightmare tbh

Reopening of old trails and the new option lines are cool. Any new trail(s) is always a bonus.

Showcase and Fresh air changes are great. Haole seemed to be running great too.

I hate saying this but the lower part of H2O didnt live up to my expectations for gravity logic. Maybe it's just the clay dirt or the bad rain after being built but it's definitely not that confidence inspiring.

A three pack of tables on Haole would make me happy.

Freeride assessment is not that big of a deal....will be nice when we can carry it over though.

thanks for a rad season.
